Hi,  
i deployed a filebeat daemon set

> <https://github.com/elastic/beats/blob/master/deploy/kubernetes/filebeat/filebeat-daemonset.yaml>

And i would like to use a custom folder, like /var/mylogs  
I configure filebeat to read from "/var/mylogs" and create a volume. But it is not getting any data.  
This is the config:

and create a volume like:  
volumeMounts:  
- name: config  
mountPath: /etc/filebeat.yml  
readOnly: true  
subPath: filebeat.yml  
- name: data  
mountPath: /usr/share/filebeat/data  
- name: varlibdockercontainers  
mountPath: /var/lib/docker/containers  
readOnly: true  
- name: varlog  
mountPath: /var/log  
readOnly: true  
- name: applog  
mountPath: /var/mylogs  
readOnly: true  
volumes:  
- name: config  
configMap:  
defaultMode: 0600  
name: filebeat-config  
- name: varlibdockercontainers  
hostPath:  
path: /var/lib/docker/containers  
- name: varlog  
hostPath:  
path: /var/log  
# data folder stores a registry of read status for all files, so we don't send everything again on a Filebeat pod restart  
- name: data  
hostPath:  
path: /var/lib/filebeat-data  
type: DirectoryOrCreate  
- name: applog  
hostPath:  
path: /var/mylogs
